On the road – day 12, Kappelskär-Paide via Paldiski

Good morning world. I’ve slept about 3,5 hours in the car backseat last night but that was part of the plan all the way long. We’re soon getting on ferry and then we’ll be back at home around midnight.

When we were driving last night towards Kappelskär there was one truck driving right in front of us that all in a sudden lit in fire… luckily the driver was able to put off the fire really fast but there was no way to get past of the truck, so we had to wait for a short while. In a way it was good that there was all in a sudden some action on the road because we were getting sleepy and it shook everyone awake… but then again, I think we’ve had enough action for one day.

We’re still talking about yesterday’s explosions. Hopefully there are some fresh newspapers on the ferry. (EDIT: we learned about the shootings on Utøya after seeing BBC news in ferry while doing our cabin check-in, until then we thought there had only been explosions in Oslo)

Driving a ferry during a day time is majorly boring. I watched two movies with my little brother because we didn’t feel like sleeping. The food has been good though, both breakfast and dinner. The most bothering thing about it have been the dirty and smelly truck drivers. I thought of having a cup of coffee downstairs (you can get coffee for free here with cookies as a snack! There’s nothing to do on this ferry as it’s mainly a truck-ferry but they do pay a lot of attention to food here!) but I quickly had to take my coffee upstairs because the smelly people just made me feel really disgusted. There are showers (and soap) in every single cabin in that ferry and you don’t have to pay extra to use it. Dirty and smelly people are just disgusting. Especially if I know that there is a chance for them to take a shower. And by the way, opposite of our cabin was the sauna that one can use for free…

I think I’m going to spend the next days locked in my room at home because I just don’t want to see people any more or then I should have stayed in Norway and started to live and work as a troll full-time on top of some mountain. I could have also had some sheep and cows and rule my own kingdom there! Just kidding.

In 30 minutes – home, sweet home!
